This petition has been filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (in short, 'Cr.P.C.') seeking quashing of the FIR No. 207/2016 registered at Police Station: Kirti Nagar, West Delhi under Sections 323/341/451/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (in short, 'IPC') and the proceedings emanating thereform. 3.

family members and have amicably resolved their inter se disputes and have entered into a Memorandum of Family Settlement dated 23.03.2023.

The Legal Heirs of the complainant (since deceased)/respondent no.2 are personally present in Court and have been duly identified by the IO.

7.

Considering the above settlement between the parties and the chances of conviction of the petitioners being remote and bleak, in view of the principles enunciated by the Supreme Court in Gian Singh v. State of Punjab, (2012) 10 SCC 303, Parbatbhai Aahir @ Parbatbhai Bimsinh Karmur & Ors. v. State of Gujarat & Ors., (2017) 9 SCC 641 and State of Haryana & Ors. v. Bhajan Lal & Ors. 1992 Supp (1) SCC 335, I find that no useful purpose would be served in continuing with the criminal proceedings as it would be an unnecessary burden on the State exchequer and continuation of further proceedings in the FIR might create further acrimony between the parties.

8.

Accordingly, FIR No. 207/2016 registered at Police Station: Kirti Nagar, West Delhi under Sections 323/341/451/506/34 of the IPC, along with all other proceedings emanating therefrom, are quashed.

9.

The petition is allowed in the above terms. The pending application is disposed of as being rendered infructuous.
